I am originally from Honduras, went to High School at the "Instituto Salesiano San Miguel" but moved to Costa Rica in 1991 to start a BS in Electronics Engineering at the "Tecnologico de Costa Rica" that I completed in 1995. I did my thesis in Radiografica Costarricense learning a lot about X.25 and the Internet. Upon my return to Honduras, I was hired by COMTELCA in Tegucigalpa, Honduras where I worked from 1995 thru 1997, in that time I was also the founder of COMPUNET S. de R. L an Internet Service Provider in Honduras and IT Solutions company. My digital ID was "int21h"

In 1997, I moved to Gainesville, FL to attend the University Florida, where I met great friends, volunteer as the 1st generation of "The Entrepreneurs Club," and completed an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Ph.D in 1999 and 2002 respectively, publishing several papers and filed two patents that are now issued. As a student to Dr. Sumi Helal, I also help him with Phoneomena, and won a Business Plan competition with some partners from TEC, a company that was able to raise over 100K in funding.

In August 2002, I moved to Redmond, WA and worked for Microsoft, a company I was familiar as an intern, but in 2003 moved to Plantation to work for Motorola, where I spent over 7 years developing mobile software. I am now working for my start up, as the founder and CEO of Rapid Mobile Technologies, Inc commercializing MobileCAD (US Pat 7231330) and MobileIPP (7697508).

I also develop mobile applications and have submitted several iPhone, Android, and Blackberry products. I volunteer in several academic committees for IEEE as a reviewer and editorial committee for a journal. I have over 12 submitted patents issued.

In 2009, I became a founder of "Honduras Global" a group of successful Honduras abroad, where I have been speaker for "First Tuesday," "Mobile Monday Miami," and many other events.

Since 2011, I have been the Chief Technology Office at EGLA COMMUNICATIONS and developed a great platform called MEDIAMPLIFYfor music and video distribution
